The true pioneer of ordsprog

en The true pioneer of civilization is not the newspaper, not religion, not the railroad--but whiskey!
  Mark Twain

en The advantages of whiskey over dogs are legion. Whiskey does not need to be periodically wormed, it does not need to be fed, it never requires a special kennel, it has no toenails to be clipped or coat to be stripped.

  W. C. Fields

en Judaism is a civilization. It has history, culture, literature. It has jokes, ... Part of any civilization is its religious beliefs, and so part of Judaism is the religion of the Jew, but they are not the same thing.

  Ernest Renan

en America is the civilization of people engaged in transforming themselves. In the past, the stars of the performance were the pioneer and the immigrant. Today, it is youth and the Black.

en A peasant dies calmly because he is not a Christian. He performs the rituals as a matter of course, but his true religion is different. His religion is nature, with which he has lived."
  Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

en Islam: Religion, History, and Civilization
